Damp Proof Injection Unit

Manufacturer: Birchwood

Code: C22002

Model: DPC

Specifications

This machine injects damp proofing fluid into pre drilled holes in brickwork. The fluid forms a barrier against rising damp.
General Guideline (for detailed instructions refer to information supplied at time of hire).

1. Whenever possible work below floor level (suspended wooden floors) internally and above ground level externally.

2. Strip skirting boards and plaster from internal surfaces, to a height of 1m (39ins) above intended DPC level.

3. Drill 10mm holes directly into mortar bed 150mm (6ins) spacing. Whenever possible work from both sides of cavity walls, otherwise drill through and inject from outside. (Solvent based DPC's are normally injected into the brick or down through the brick into the mortar bed at a higher pressure of 60psi.)

4. Inject the silicon fluid at low pressure (max. 20psi) until it spreads evenly across the bed and 'bleeds'. Better penetration is achieved at low pressure over time than hurrying at high pressure.

5. Plug holes with plastic plugs (available from stock) or mortar. Allow to dry thoroughly before replastering and making good.
